Sassy Bag PDF Pattern

This unassuming little cutie really packs a wallop – and a number of other things! This purse is ideal for vacations or traveling light. It’s nicer than a fanny pack, less bulky than a traditional purse, and will lie securely next to your body. The 2 inside pockets are big enough for a cell phone, checkbook and glasses. There is also one pocket on the back.

It’s ideal for wearing across your chest to hang at your side where it is safe and secure. The front of the purse is pleated to expand for a lot of goodies, or stay slim for a few. Most purses are one size no matter how much you intend to carry. Discretely located under the flap, the opening to the purse is held closed by a piece of elastic.

This quick and easy pattern is a ‘Fat Quarter Cutie’. This means the bag can be made from fat quarters. Recommended Coordinate: Consider making a Wonder Wallet (pattern #211) to go with your new purse.

Fabric Tip: Keep in mind that fabrics from all three fat quarters will show on the outside of the bag. So choose your fabrics with that in mind.

Note: Rotary cut project. No pattern pieces included.
Basic Sewing and Quilting Skills Required. Walking foot recommended.
Size: Approx. 8” x 9”
